Hey folks,
I plan on doing a complete remodel on my small master bathroom.
I have this vision of having a completely curbless shower with frameless doors that come almost to the floor. The idea would be to have minimalist, room-opening affect of a true wet room in the shower area. I would accomplish this by having a contractor grind the required slope into my slab.
The current shower is an old fiberglass plan with a cheap set of framed sliding shower doors on the curb. The shower dimensions are approx about 4.5 feet wide by 3 feet deep. I intend on using kerdi material with a kerdi drain to waterproof everything.
After doing quite a few google searches (that took me to this site), it seems that there is no information anywhere on doing a shower this way. It this idea crazy? I think not having to step over a curb every morning would be certainly worth the trouble. I think that as long as the slope of the shower was extended to 5 inches (almost up to the toilet) past where the doors come down, any water going down the doors would hit the sloped surface and drain.
Thanks in advance!
